Résumé
Cet article discute des leçons tirées des expériences de la chercheuse de son approche ethnographique qui a utilisé une étude sociologique sur les expériences vécues des jeunes femmes dans le canton de Ngangelizwe, Mthatha pour découvrir les différentes manières dont les jeunes femmes ont négocié leur mode de vie. L’approche de la recherche ethnographique est sous-tendue par le désir d’acquérir une compréhension approfondie des expériences vécues par les participants. Une telle compréhension est destinée à aller au-delà des identifications explicites des participants à leurs réalités, en exhumant les significations cachées qui façonnent la production de leur action sociale. Cependant, accéder à la vie des participants n’est pas un processus simple et devrait être reconnu dans sa différence par rapport à l’accès au domaine d’étude. Accéder à la vie sociale des participants et s’engager dans des observations ethnographiques est un processus complexe dans lequel le chercheur participe à de multiples rôles qui se chevauchent et sont façonnés par des événements imprévus sur le terrain. Ce document met en lumière certaines des occurrences de terrain dans la façon dont elles ont informé le processus de collecte de données à travers lequel l’objectif d’examiner les réalités des jeunes femmes dans le canton de Ngangelizwe a été atteint.
